Chapter 371: Immortal Maiden
"That wall of the Han Dynasty?" Baili Chubby wandered around the ghost palace, and when he heard this, he came to An Qingyu's side, "Let the master see, which ancient man is so idle?" "
An Qingyu: ......
"Let's talk about it." Cao Yuan and Li Deyang also walked to An Qingyu's side.
An Qingyu lifted his glasses and said slowly: "If I guess correctly, this Heavenly Palace should be the place to collect those files of strange things that happened in the Yang Realm, and this file in my hand describes a strange event in the Han Dynasty.
During the Han Dynasty, a strange maiden suddenly appeared among the people, she had the power to give 'immortal' properties to any object she came into contact with, and the objects she endowed with 'immortal' characteristics would not be affected by any external factors.
The clothes on her body will not be damaged in the slightest whether they are slashed and burned, and the wooden axe she has touched can cut through gold and stone, and the arrows she shoots can easily pierce through heavy armor......
And she herself is even more invulnerable, the flames can't leave a burning mark on her skin, the regic water can't leave any traces on her body, and even time has no effect on her, no matter how many years have passed, her appearance will not age in the slightest.
However, the flaw is that she can only apply the 'Immortal' trait to one object at a time, and while giving the arrow immortal power, she loses her immortal protection and becomes as vulnerable as a normal person...... But the strange thing is that even if she loses the protection of 'immortality', she still does not age, as if her own time has been frozen for eternity.
Suddenly, one day, mysterious monsters crawled out of the void like a tide, besieging the strange girl with the power of 'immortal', and three hundred bronze dead soldiers protected the girl to fight the monster to the death, and finally the whole army was wiped out, but those monsters finally disappeared strangely......
When the emperor heard about this, he thought that this girl was a bloody calamity, and he didn't know when it would attract the siege of monsters, which would be detrimental to his family and country, so he sent someone to use Xuanyin wood to create a coffin that isolated all breath, sealed the girl in it, and sent someone to send this coffin to the capital of Xudu......
After that, the emperor was still not at ease, so he secretly asked people to build a wall near the city, so that if one day those monsters came to kill the girl again, even if they broke out of the city, they could be stopped by these walls, and they could not enter the yang world, causing harm to Sheji. "
An Qingyu closed the file in his hand, and several people around him fell into deep thought.
"Immortal ......" Li Deyang's brows furrowed slightly, "Is there really such a power?" And listening to this description, how does it feel so much like ......?"
"Forbidden Ruins." Cao Yuan continued his words.
"Yes, it feels similar to the forbidden ruins, but in the forbidden ruins I know, there doesn't seem to be such a forbidden ruin."
"But...... Didn't the Forbidden Ruins appear after the fog fell? Baili Chubby asked suspiciously, "This was more than 2,000 years ago, how could there be a forbidden ruin at that time?" "
Cao Yuan nodded, "The Forbidden Ruins did indeed appear after the fog fell, this point has long been demonstrated by the Night Watch, either this power of hers is not the Forbidden Ruins, or ...... She may be the world's first owner of the Forbidden Ruins. "
"Sounds pretty powerful......," Li Deyang nodded, "However, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with us." "
Baili Chubby stood up from the ground and grinned, "That's not necessarily, isn't she immortal?" What if you survive to this day and still lie in a coffin somewhere? "
"Uncle Li is right, the top priority at the moment is to find a way out." Cao Yuan's gaze swept over the dormitory, and his brows furrowed slightly, "But this hall is completely closed, and there seems to be no other exit except for the door that enters." "
Baili Chubby pondered for a moment, "Why don't you try?" "
The other three turned their heads to look at Baili's chubby gaze with some surprise.
"I have props that can pass through space...... Phew, it's forbidden, but this is the Heavenly Palace, and I don't know if it will work. Baili Chubby shrugged his shoulders.
"There's this kind of thing, why didn't you take it out earlier?" Li Deyang asked depressedly.
"This thing is a consumable, it's gone when it's used up, and it's the only one in the world." Baili Chubby took out a piece of chalk from his pocket and said with some pain.
He walked to a corner of the hall and squatted down, and drew a large circle on the wall with chalk, and when the powder head and tail met, the wall in the circle suddenly rippled, and the wall in the circle had disappeared.
"It works!" Baili Chubby's eyes lit up, "Come on, this thing can only last for ten seconds." "
When the other three saw this scene, a touch of joy appeared on their faces, and they immediately drilled through the chalk circle, and when An Qingyu walked out at the end, the circle connecting with the outside world disappeared.
Cao Yuan used a flashlight to shine around, this was no longer the main entrance of the main hall they had entered before, but directly behind the main hall, the winding and rugged road stretched forward, and at the end of the road, a magnificent red palace was suspended in the air.
The volume of this hanging palace is far larger than the six palaces on the ground, and the walls and ceiling of the hall are vermilion, which is almost the only building that has not been black since the four of them entered the capital.
The six palaces on the ground are all black with black walls and vermilion gates, but the hanging palace in front of them is just the opposite, the walls are vermilion, the gates are pitch black, and the gate of the black hole stands in mid-air, like an abyss.
"That, it should be the imperial palace of Emperor Xudu, right?" An Qingyu also looked up at the magnificent palace and spoke.
"That's right." Cao Yuan nodded.
Baili Chubby looked at the magnificent hanging palace, and couldn't help but smack his lips, "Shall we go up and have a look?" "
"No, no." Cao Yuan decisively refused, "We are here to look for Seven Nights, not to travel." "
"…… All right. Baili Chubby sighed in frustration.
At this moment, a wave of white paper figures suddenly swept across the sky, and Cao Yuan's and the others changed their faces slightly, and they immediately stuck to the edge of the palace wall, hiding their figures.
Fortunately, the paper figures didn't seem to be coming for the four of them, but just swept over the top of the palace and flew upwards.
Cao Yuan poked his head out, squinted at the front of the wave of paper figures, and the whole person was suddenly stunned in place.
At the front of the wave of paper figures, a white giant ant was crawling rapidly on the ground, along the black stone slab suspended in the air, and rushed straight to the suspended palace!
